I’m currently reading “Mating in Captivity” by Esther Perel & it dives into the topics of keeping erotic aliveness in commited partnerships. It’s an absolutely fascinating & powerful piece of work for those who want it all, the safety, romance & passion. One of the biggest problems with modern day relationships is that modern society tells us to turn to one person to fulfill what an entire village once did. We’ve lost touch with community & expression in the search for intimacy & it squashes our erotic aliveness. There has been relationships in the past where all I wanted was closeness with my beloved & in that process I let go of the things that kept me in my essence. I Stopped hanging out with friends, let go of hobbies & groups I was in. Hilariously in the attempt to get closer with my partner created the opposite affect. Passion & Eros need space to breathe. We need sisterhood & community where we can get our needs met. We need to dance, move & create. We need the things that make us feel like us. Our own secret garden. And that’s why I’m so grateful for this community & all of you! Here’s to the exploration of having it all 💋

Lately I’ve fallen in love with primping. Eye patches. Red light. Doing my hair. Taking the time instead of rushing past myself. I’m not trying to change my natural beauty at all. I’m not fixing anything. I’m just taking the attention to honoring myself. Putting time into myself has quietly, steadily grown my confidence. Not in a performative way but In a grounded, I can feel myself in my body way. I feel my beauty more. It feels less like “getting ready” and more like an investment. Like saying: thank you, body. Thank you, face. Thank you, life. You’re worth care and attention. My beauty has increased because my relationship to myself has. The Dream Girl is Beautiful and knows it too ☺️

Sharing this clip from my beloveds birthday yesterday. When I sat with how I wanted to express my love I was feeling a sense of worship & ceremony to usher him into a new timeline. I set up a ritual foot bath where I washed his feet with herbs and poured warm water & words of affirmations onto him then lovingly dried & anointed the feet with oils. It felt beautiful & powerful to give to my lover in that sweet devotional state. Connection & worship is some of my favorite ways to honor the close ones in my life. 🌹💧✨ As women we get to bring ceremony & beauty into everyday life and that is a superpower. We all carry this magic within us, let this be an invitation to create ceremony & trust how your intuition wants to worship the divine.

Hi ladies 🌹 I want to put this out there into the field and see if starting a book club feels alive for anyone? Genres of all kinds, maybe meet bi weekly/monthly? Love you 💖

Yesterday I hopped on a flight from TX to CO to come kick it with some of my Christ Consciousness homies and spend a week creating art and music. On the flight, I pulled a new dragon toy in my pocket and set it beside the apple juice the flight attendant had just handed me. I sat there looking at my dragon and my apple juice and thought, "well, this is not what I anticipated experiencing as a 30-year-old woman." I used to take things so seriously, feeling like there was a "right" way and a "wrong" way, feeling the pressure of fixing everything that was "wrong" with me and holding myself to a ridiculously high standard of being contained and perfectly articulated as an academic, entrepreneur and community leader. While all of this was an important part of the journey, I had lost the play, the wonder, the enchantment. Playing with my dragon and drinking my apple juice, I thought, "Holy shift, I f**ing made it. This is legendary." Turns out, we do "the work" to get here. To become the sanctuary where our inner child can play, create, be silly and be safely contained, witnessed and nurtured by our adult self. Our maturity can either become a guardian of our creativity and play or a prison guard keeping us locked in the cage of how we "should" be. "You must again become like a child to enter the kingdom." I would LOVE to see how your inner child is moving through you this week. . .please share below and include photos! ✨
